Upon the arrival of Sergeant Tim Rowley, he spoke with the complainant regarding Ricky Pollard’s conduct and learned that he had recently been released from prison, after serving 20 year for Armed Robbery and Aggravated Assault. After speaking with the complainant, Sergeant Rowley requested that if Ricky Pollard returned, they should immediately contact the Heard County Dispatch Center and request the presence of law enforcement.
